How it's used
Focuses specifically on the high performance and aesthetic appeal of a vehicle rather than just its utility. While it often implies a two door design, the term is frequently used loosely to describe any car that looks sporty or aggressive, even if it is a sedan.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with racing cars used on a track, which are usually referred to as 賽車. Using 跑車 for a professional racing vehicle can sound inaccurate to car enthusiasts.
